Recast youth

Chapter 1143 The image of Li Chenggong
What Ye Weimin thought of, Ye Feng also thought of it early on.

Originally, he called Ning Hao in the morning and deliberately did not send the script to Ning Hao for Ning Hao to read first. He also said that it would be shot in about a month. This was also intentional.

The purpose was to make Ning Hao hesitate and not take the film, so that Ye Feng would have a natural excuse to find Ye Weimin to direct "On the Road", and then wait for "On the Road" to be released and become a huge success at the box office. , when Ning Hao asked himself why he didn't ask him to find out, he had a legitimate excuse to reply to him. It's not that I didn't let you direct this movie, but that I called you to discuss this matter, and you said you didn't have time. I'll look for someone else to take the photo.

Of course, Ye Feng did not use this excuse to Director Ye Weimin.

Ye Feng smiled at Ye Weimin and said: "Director Ye, although I don't understand movies, I also know that each director is good at different fields. Ning Hao is better at black humor movies. The script I wrote is It’s a movie full of funny and embarrassing things. After thinking about it, I still think you, Director Ye, are more suitable and have more experience, so I specially asked someone to contact you.”

"Mr. Ye said that, which makes me feel particularly honored."

Ye Weimin was so excited by Ye Feng's words. After all, it was because he was famous and capable that Ye Feng went out of his way to let people find him.

After thinking about it, Ye Weimin looked up at Ye Feng and asked, "By the way, Mr. Ye, do you have any requirements for actors? For example, if you recommend two people who like acting, I can arrange some scenes for them."

What Ye Weimin said here is very clear.

This is also an unspoken rule in the film industry. Investors provide money and then arrange for their own mistresses and lovers to come in to be the protagonists and promote them as stars. Ye Weimin is also prepared for this. After all, Ye Feng is so rich and not very tall. Well, there is definitely no shortage of women around him, so that he can also leave a lasting relationship with Ye Feng.

But what surprised Ye Weimin was that Ye Feng had no such plan at all.

Ye Feng shook his head and said: "I won't add any trouble to recommend anyone. This script is my first time writing it, so I think it's better for professional actors to participate."

"Yeah, that's right. After all, the quality of actors should be higher."

Ye Weimin understood what Ye Feng said, and at the same time he vaguely felt Ye Feng's ambition. He wanted to make a movie with a high box office, but it is true that after all, last year's "Crazy Stone" had a box office of 4.73 million, With Zhu Yu in front, it's normal for Ye Feng to feel pressure. I guess he didn't ask Ning Hao to make this movie because of this consideration.

Thinking of this, Ye Weimin made a promise to Ye Feng and said, "Mr. Ye, your script is very good and interesting. As long as you believe in me, I will do my best to direct this movie."

"Director Ye, I definitely believe in your ability."

Ye Feng waved his hand, then picked up the Pu'er tea cup and took a sip, and asked: "By the way, in terms of actors, does Director Ye have any suitable candidates?"

"I'll think about it."

Ye Weimin thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "What do Mr. Ye think of Andy Lau? Andy Lau is an evergreen tree in the film industry and has very good acting skills. I happen to have a script with him now. If Mr. Ye thinks it's okay, I can Ask him if he can coordinate the schedule."

Andy Lau?
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. Andy Lau was also an actor he liked very much in his previous life. He was very dedicated, but without being in contact with him, Ye Feng still subconsciously felt that it was a bit unreal.

Unexpectedly, I contacted Ye Weimin today and he directly recommended Andy Lau.Then Ye Feng asked curiously: "Do you have a script in hand now? Can you reveal the name of the movie? When it is released in theaters, I will go to the theater to support Director Ye."

"It's nothing. The movie itself also needs to be promoted. The name of the movie is "The Letter of Nomination"."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Weimin said to Ye Feng again: "But don't worry, Mr. Ye, if this movie is not started yet, it will be released next year and it will not delay the filming of your movie."

"Well, that's fine."

Ye Feng nodded, but he knew in his heart which movie Ye Weimin was filming. He had seen the movie "The Certificate of Entrepreneurship" on the website in his previous life. The cast was very strong, including not only Andy Lau, but also Jet Li, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Xu Jinglei. Waiting for big-name actors to participate.

He is a great director after all.

Ye Feng sighed, and then said to Ye Weimin: "Director Ye, to be honest, I also like Andy Lau, my idol when I was a child, but I don't think he is suitable to participate in the movie "Unfortunately"."

"What do you say?" Ye Weimin raised his head, wanting to hear Ye Feng's opinion. Generally speaking, many powerful investors prefer first-line actors to participate in the show.

"Because the character's personality is not suitable, the two main characters in my script are the successful businessman Li Chenggong and the milker Niu Geng. Obviously, the role of the milkman is not suitable for Andy Lau, and the role of Li Chenggong is positioned as a small boss. Wanting to be a typical successful man of this era, I think there is a bit of conflict with Andy Lau's own image."

At this point, Ye Feng raised his head and continued: "I don't know if you, Director Ye, can understand what I mean. What I think is that when a person appears, he doesn't need to do anything. As soon as you see him, you will know Produced, he is the person, the character you want."

Ye Weimin was a little surprised when he heard this. He was also curious before about why Ye Feng could achieve such great success at such a young age, but now he finally understood.

Ye Feng's intuition is very accurate, and it can also be said that he has a strong sense of pictures. Such a person can create a picture in his mind through a short paragraph of what this person's image looks like.

Ye Weimin has seen two such people, the first is Stephen Chow and the second is Chen Kaige. Strictly speaking, he thinks it should be Stephen Chow and Ye Feng who are more imaginative, because Stephen Chow makes movies according to the method Ye Feng said to find actors. , from the ever-changing Star King to Kung Fu, it has always been like this. This is also the reason why the supporting roles in Stephen Chow's movies are so brilliant.

So Ye Weimin nodded and said to Ye Feng: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Ye. This is what Stephen Chow does. He personally confirms the roles for supporting roles and extras in every movie."

Ye Feng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He knew very well how much he weighed. He was thinking about Sora Kurai, Ran Muto, and Da Mei. He was okay, but he was still far behind compared with comedies like Stephen Chow.

The reason why I can say this is just following the image template of Xu Zheng in his previous life.

Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost complete, Ye Feng deliberately pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "By the way, what do you think of Xu Zheng? He is the Feng Dong in "Crazy Stone". I think he is very Li Chenggong." image of."
